The thesis examined the work of the Commissioners in Lunacy between 1845 and 1910. The Database records the asylums visited by the Commissioners, the numbers of patients and their movement through the asylum system and the findings from the inspection visits. The Readme file notes caveats about the data and the approach used by the CIL to record the activity and their findings.
